I've been told that but just haven't figured it out yet. It don't say spring so I'm not sure how to find it.

On the bottom line of my tag is a series of abbreviations. The last one is SPR, I am guessing this is a spring code but am not sure. Mine says VA there. My www research shows that there are only a couple of different springs used on these trucks.

All right guys. Just went out and checked, its funy, I never saw that SPR before. I guess its got to do with my glasses but above the SPR is DSO, and below it is VC? So I'm guessing its code is VC. Being a CrewCab 4x4 with LB I thought it would have X code springs? Any way I'll have to check on price and replace them. Don't really want to go extra heavy so I thought just same springs, what do you all say?

I think the V is the front spring code (for the diesel, 5200lb rating per spring pack) and the C is the rear spring code. I know that the only springs up front that are heavier than the V code for the diesel is the X code for the plow package (popular swap to get the front about 1" higher).

Thanks Chief. I wouldn't mind the 1 inch higher I just don't want it stiffer then it was new. I would think if they put the V code on the shorter wheel base diesels they would use a different one for crew cabs.

Here's a link to a spring company. If you scroll down to the F-250/F-350 section you can see what is available. There are basically two options for each application-regular duty and heavy duty.
